Britney Spears has sent a cryptic message aimed at her estranged family in a left field Christmas post.
Pop icon Spears took to social media yesterday (December 28), with a post that immediately caught fans’ attention, seemingly aimed at her estranged relatives.
"Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix …," her Instagram post read.
"To my dear sweet innocent family … so so sorry I was busy this Christmas but I will definitely show up and surprise you soon … I can’t wait …. hello, beautiful Ivy … I just want to hold you, my love … Godspeed, friends."

While in another video posted just hours later, the 'Toxic' songstress can be seen dancing provocatively in her underwear with a lengthy caption alongside it.
"Have you guys seen the movie 'Trash' ??? … Such a beautiful title … RIGHT MURICA … The most beautiful things I have found have been in the trash. Am I saying I’m beautiful, readers ???" it said in part.
"Why, no !!! I believe we’re all the same, I’m not better than anyone nor are you better than me !!! We are just people on a journey living to proceed and protect our hearts."
The posts come amid renewed attention on Spears’ personal life following revelations from her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Two months ago, Federline released his memoir, You Thought You Knew, in which he makes a series of troubling claims about the singer’s behavior and mental health.
The 47-year-old, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, shares two sons with her - 20-year-old Sean Preston and 19-year-old Jayden James. In the book, he alleges that Spears would sometimes enter their sons’ bedrooms at night holding a knife and simply stand watching them.
Expressing his fears, Federline writes: "It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s okay. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour.
"Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces."
Spears has frequently made headlines this year due to a string of unconventional Instagram posts, often involving dancing videos and cryptic captions that appear to reference her family, fame, and past trauma.
Federline also criticizes the #FreeBritney movement in his memoir, suggesting that while supporters had good intentions, the aftermath may not have helped Spears as much as hoped.
After the fan-led campaign brought widespread attention to her situation, the 13-year conservatorship ended in 2021.
UNILAD has approached Spears' reps for further comment.
